Funny how the ACLU is always ready to defend unpopular ideas, but just try and get them to help conservative college students whose positions are belittled in class.
A few years ago at the University of Penna a conservative editorial was not allowed to be distributed by black students. Papers were confiscated by a black faternity, university administrators did nothing. When the conservatives went to the ACLU, they were told there was nothing they would do.
Kinda depends on whose ox is being gored, doesn't it?
I have been getting all this campaign literature from Charlie Brown that would make you swear that he was a conservative. Even got a phony little newspaper called something like the "Placer County Republican" endorsing Charlie Brown.
This is like getting those mortgage offers in envelopes that make it look like your getting a tax refund. Why would you want to do business with someone that misleads you right up front?
We filled out our ballots yesterday and I double checked to make sure we voted for Dolittle :)
I live in Massachusetts, although I'm bolting for the exit by the end of the year. The ACLU here is fully supportive of NAMBLA up to and including murdering kids. ACLU supports the entire NAMBLA line, including zeroing out the age of consent and releasing all incarcerated perverts.
They (ACLU) routinely also oppose prison sentences for pedophiles. On top of that they are fighting to prevent disclosure of pedophiles (including murderers, who are all paroled in under twenty years in Mass, even if sentenced to "no parole") and fighting to oppose sex offender registration.
The leading candidate for Governor here, Deval Patrick, wants to release rapists from prison and, again, keep their history as sex offenders a secret -- to protect them from their potential victims. Naturally he supports ACLU and ACLU supports him, just like they both support the murderers of the Curley kid.
Anyone who supports ACLU as it exists today, supports child rape and murder, however much he may deny it. I don't know if the ACLU lawyers who push this radical pedophile agenda are pederasts themselves, just hate kids, or have some other reason, but they're not normal civilised human beings.
